As it's been hinted that a new Valar package will come with Minas Morgul, here are my suggestions.

The level 105 valar item is in many ways, strong enough already, but a newer version could still have valuable perks.

A valar item should put a character in a foothold position to take on the latest new content IMO, and should not be a bypass to all the content in the game that a player needs to work for. For a char to be ready they need a decent set of gear, the majority of their class trait points, a decent weapon that is some way ready and some virtues. As a plus side, a nice set of cosmetics wouldn't go amiss either.

They should not have all grind negated however as that is far too P2W.

It should come with first age Li's, along with 6 imbues legacy replacement scrolls so that the player can imbue and start working on those LI's immediately. A small crystal/Emp package could also be included, but as SSG have said no LI revamp will undermine work already put in by players - that's it. No further than that.

Virtue reward IMO, should stay as it is. It's already well worth the money and putting it any higher is too much of a paid advantage.

Armour/bling, should be awarded at the best landscape gear that is available within the last update. For example, if MM were to hit now, the best landscape armour is level 120 teal 376 at the landscape barter. An essence package containing enough t2 essences to fill the maximum slots on that armour should also be included. If the player wants t3 or higher, then they should work to get them.

Valar item is great for those that want to take a shortcut to the latest content, but it should remain exactly that . . . a shortcut, not a fully fledged "raid ready, got everything I need to take me all the way to the new level cap and beyond" item.

Good day! A few months back I returned to Middle Earth after a fairly long absence. Since my return, I spend all my time catching up--visiting festivals and collecting all the items I missed, unlocking Minas Tirith for Anfalas Scrolls of Empowerment, and finishing old regions as I slowly make my way towards the most recent areas. While doing all that, I discovered that certain basic activities--crafting relics, reforging and breaking down legendary items, repairing equipment, selling plunder, and sorting items into storage, consume a great deal of time. A few new housing items would reduce this time by a significant amount.

1) A Relic and Forge Master for an internal [Small Furniture] housing hook. (I highly suggest making this person work in an Small Yard housing hook as well.)

All housing neighborhoods now contain a Relic and Forge Master so I often travel home to reforge and break down legendary items. When running Festival quests, I perform this task daily on up to 10 characters! When running daily quests, such as collecting Anfalas Scrolls of Empowerment or finishing off Reputation in older regions, I also perform this task in my neighborhood multiple times a day. All my houses lie on Myrtle Court in the Shire Homesteads, so all my characters can travel home and make a short run down the hill to the Relic and Forge Master. Unfortunately, that run takes me past the Task Boards. Those evil things suck so bad I cannot possibly describe the soaring levels of suckiness to which they, umm, soar. Yes. I really do not like them very much.

If I could purchase a Relic and Forge Master for an internal housing hook I could avoid those runs down the hill and save a bunch of time.

2) A Supplier for an internal [Small Furniture] housing hook.

After playing a character, I always leave her inside my kin house. All housing neighborhoods include a Supplier and the Game Store offers a Supplier for an external [Small Yard] housing hook. If I log into a character for the sole purpose of crafting and that process requires something from a supplier, I must step outside (two loading screens) or step outside, run down the hill, go into the Homestead Provisions, and come back (4 loading screens and running past the evil Task Boards).

If I can purchase a Relic and Forge Master in the future, I want to place that person inside my kin house, which is where my characters are always heading. If I have an interior Supplier, I can perform my legendary item tasks, immediately sell off the unneeded items to the Supplier, and log out. In combination, these two service personnel would save me a great deal of time every day in the form of many fewer loading screens.

I already own a Workbench and Scholar's Study for inside my kin house. Thank you very much for those! Right now, if I want to perform forge work, I must step outside and back in (two loading screens), potentially visit a Supplier (possibly two more loading screens), or travel to a distant Forge (two loading screens). An interior Forge, combined with the items I already have and an interior Supplier, would allow me to perform all my upkeep tasks in a single room!

4) A Visiting Banker with a fixed appearance.

The Visiting Banker available for Figments of Splendor provides the best single improvement to your game in years! She is awesome! However, she constantly changes appearance which, like, super annoys me. If I could acquire a Visiting Banker with a fixed appearance I actually like, I would gladly purchase her from the Game Store or for Figments of Splendor. An Elf Maid Visiting Banker would be my preferred choice.

To be clear, I will gladly purchase these items in the Game Store for Points or from the Market for Cash. I am not looking for freebies! I just want to cut out a bunch of loading screens that waste my time and put unnecessary load on your servers.

Thank you for your consideration!

Sophie the Cat Burg... Wait! Sophie the Enchantress

Vexa the Dagger: Stare into the spinning disk and do my will!

Sophie the Enchantress: What are you doing?

Vexa the Dagger: I'm, umm, enchanting. Or something.

Contrary Hobbit: Those items will cause people to stop crafting in public...

Vexa the Dagger: *stabs the contrary hobbit in the face multiple times*

Contrary Hobbit: AhhHHHHAhhha! Gahhhhh *gurgle* *dies*

Sophie the Enchatress: Was that really necessary?

Vexa the Dagger: Yes. On so many levels.

In Middle Earth it is polite to greet each other and say hello. Show your weapons to proclaim peace is known in history. To be able to see others gear is fun and interresting to compare with other.

But nowdays more and more is anonym and completely hidden.

In the PvE community I think its lame and rude to be anonym when making fellowship and raids. The argument that it is useful for PvP and parr for me is just boring. It really doesnt make so much differens if someone sneak peak on your gear. In Ettenmoors is laggy and when its a big fight you anyway cant see whos who.

The most people that is anonym is the one with bad gear that wants to be carried tru raids and instances.

It is time that SSG removes the possibility to make characters anonym in LOTRO.

As the title says, a minor music suggestion: take the Lothlorien / Rivendell music out of the interior of Erebor.

Through the whole game, dwarves have had reedy, folksy music like in Thorin's Hall- or deep and awe-inspiring ominous music like in Moria. It's very strange to hear the shimmery, magical Lorien music inside Erebor. The Lorien music doesn't make a lot of sense in Eregion either, since it's no longer a land inhabited by high elves- but it's definitely strange to hear it in Erebor.

Here is my concern , since gear with embers got an upgrade from 376 lvl to 380 lvl + why ''AOW'' quartermaster didn't receive the same treatment ? All jewels are left to 382 lvl for 4.000 embers .Also after 3-4 updates and patches still there isnt any new ways to barter artifacts of the vale .
